 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers's "American Girl"Tom Petty's tribute to the American girl-next-door "raised on promises" will be a rock 'n' roll refuge at your rendezvous.

 Estelle's "American Boy"Estelle may hail from the U.K., but she knows the best boys live in the Land of the Free. This track scored Estelle and Kanye a Grammy in 2009 for the best rap/sung collaboration.

 Don McLean's "American Pie"This ballad is the perfect sing-(and sip)-along song, although its meaning is rather solemn: "The day the music died" refers to the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson.
